For 2018, 93 awards were earned by 49 HB girls in grades 9-12 in seven different writing categories. This includes 21 Gold Keys, the highest number ever to be awarded to HB students in a given year. Students credit Director of the Osborne Writing Center Scott Parsons and Upper School English teachers Beth Armstrong, Marty Frazier, and Toni Thayer for their assistance in advising them on their work.
